Registering DNS server

Any suggestions please?

I'm setting up my own DNS name servers for the first time (I had assistance last time, no longer available)

The domain I intend to use is with enom.com who give you control over certain DNS issues but I'm not clear on what the specific action for "registering" the ns1, ns2.mydomain.com as a "nameserver" is?

I have looked through a bit of stuff online, but my specific questions aren't answered.

1. Does it matter what name servers the name servers are on? (sheeesh!)

2. Do I still have to register the Domain Name Server as that, with Network Solutions, eventhough it's in the enom.com registry?

3. Is it just a matter of creating CNAME's (ns1,ns2) for the domain.com and giving them their respective IP addresses?

These are probably easy, common actions but I'm a bit confused and don't want to do what I think and then spend days cleaning it up if it's wrong.

Would be eternally grateful for any guidance.

I've sent email requests to all concerned for info but it seems that you get left on your own with DNS issues.

This is aimed at anyone outside the US (like me) who is not in 'Thanksgiving' mode. BTW, 'happy thanksgiving' to all US peoples from Down Under.

Thanks...
